"A Pinch of Snuff" (Vol. vi., p. 431.; Vol. vii., p. 268.).—This work is correctly attributed to Benson E. Hill, Esq. The companion volume, A Paper of Tobacco, of which F. R. A. speaks in just terms of commendation, was the production of Mr. W. A. Chatto, the ingenious author of a History of Playing Cards, &c. His son, Mr. Thomas Chatto, from whom I received this information, is a bookseller, at No. 25. Museum Street, Bloomsbury: where I hope his civility, and anxiety to serve his visitors, will ensure the success he merits.

Darwin on Steam (Vol. ix., p. 271.).—The lines in question are not cited quite correctly by Uneda. They run as follows:
"Soon shall thy arm, unconquer'd Steam, afar
Drag the slow barge, or drive the rapid car;
Or on wide-waving wings expanded bear,
The flying-chariot through the fields of air."
They occur in the First Part of the Botanic Garden, p. 29., 2nd edit., 4to., London, 1791.
